August 2020

As you embark on the second full week of school, please know your feelings are totally normal and we are right there with you, feeling uncertain and that many things are out of our control right now.

George Couros said, “Change will come our way. We can go through it or we can grow when we seek out solutions rather than let obstacles hinder us.”

The start of this school year may seem very overwhelming, but I want you to know that you’re all doing an AMAZING JOB!

I’m proud of your thirst to learn new things, to embrace the uncertainty, to make this a positive experience for our students.

The message in this video below was just what I needed to hear today….and I wanted to share it with all of you because I am sure there are many of YOU, who, like me, need to hear it! Have yourself a good cry & remember that your children are watching you and recognizing that you are doing a good job! You are dedicated to our Kubbies and to each other…..remember to give yourself and others grace! You are doing a GREAT JOB!

Make those Positive Connections!

(09/07) NO SCHOOL: LABOR DAY

YOU MADE IT!

The first week of this crazy, remote learning is DONE! Well, technically the first 2 days with students.

Thank you for your patience, grace, understanding, flexibility, and perseverance.

Thank you for making connections with your students, despite the circumstances.

Thank you for supporting your families, and keeping them calm, even when problems occur (which they have and they will).

Thank you for being kind to one another. We are all in this together, and the only way we’ll get through this is by supporting one another. Thank you for all you’ve done to help your colleagues and support one another. As I shared last Friday in the opening day presentation, nothing can stop what we can do together. Please know that you are valued and appreciated. Regardless of the platform, each one of you has the opportunity to make a positive impact your Kubbies. Thank you for treating them with love, modeling flexibility, challenging them to be thinkers and problem-solvers, and nurturing their growth as students & little humans.

We will SEIZE this opportunity and make the BEST of this situation.
